I can sympathize, though with the current GNUish tools it shouldn't be
much of an issue.  Anyhow:

Do you mean that g77 behaves differently under Unix and CygWin32 or
that you used a different compiler under Unix?  (Even so, I'd expect
the Unix compilers of interest to act the same as g77 by default.)
The behaviour of g77 should be the same on all systems in this
respect, at least; if it isn't, we need to investigate.  Thanks in
advance for information.
